Funny you should mention that - I've been thinking of asking that as
recently as today, but I know/assume it would be non-trivial.

I use sfacctd and am likely to need the ability to split our current
(input) sflow streams into multiple (output) sflow streams based on MAC
address.

This would be *really* cool, because I could do with this functionality
now (WRT sflow), but I'm interested to hear others thoughts (especially
as I don't really have many/any coding skills ;)

P.S. Converting sflow -> netflow is possible using "sflowtool", but you
lose layer-2 info, obviously.
